Trump Accidentally Admits to Epic #Iran #Blunder as #War Takes Worse Turn
#Trumpβspersonal and ideological shortcomings are working against #America, and what he really revealed with that odd admission of failure. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.
Trumpβs #war on Iran appears to be a #fiasco, and speaking to reporters, he made a surprising claim:
He insisted no one anticipated that Iran would attack other countries in an effort to widen the war
But this was widely expected, and amusingly, in saying that, Trump revealed that he didnβt anticipate it. Thatβs a striking admission about his own lack of foresight. Which captures something broader: On many fronts, Trump didnβt prepare for eventualities that most experts fully did anticipate.
As Trump blurts out a striking confession about his Iran fiasco, a foreign policy expert explains why the latest developments in the war are so unnervingβand what to expect next.
Anyone know of an Android alternate that can be loaded onto a Cat S22/Unifone S22? I know the specs of the latter say its running Android 11, but when I had one it wasn't full Android, it was whatever Google was calling the light version, so as well as being so old most software won't work with it, its not even full Android so that means even less working software.
Well, they're definitely rare at this point, most stuff is out of my hands, lawyer is working on some stuff, and its really a matter of just waiting at this point.
We were at Sunset Hills flea market selling stuff Sat, mixture of left overs from my storage unit flipping days, Vik's stuff, and some of my stuff I don't want. That didn't go all that well, but that's because I wasn't well prepared, I gathered stuff last minute, and where I thought I had stuff to sell, turns out there really wasn't all that much. Clearly next time I need to be better prepared. I'm also using a we buy books type app to sell off his massive book collection. The good news, they're buying 592 books. The bad news? I have to pack those to ship to them, that's going to be a barrel of laughs. It took about 4 days to scan and key all those in, and I've stopped working to focus on it. Their prices are kinda crap, but they cover shipping, so what do you expect? Also they'll likely reject some of the books, so the promised money will drop, but honestly, shrinking the collection is kinda more important than the money. When I have this batch gone, I use another app, and then when that one is done, I'll use another one, and after that, anything left will be sold at the flea market or dropped into free libraries along my deliver routes. Or maybe sell on WhatNot.
Now with that said, there is a collection I need to figure out what to do with, and that's magazines. Some like Asimov and Analog, relatively easy, if nothing else I'll set up shop on WhatNot and sell them or the flea market, but there's also a lot of pagan magazines like RFD, Green Egg and others, some body art magazines, as well as some gay porn and a few issues of Advocate. Sure, I could just pulp them, but that seems a shame, they do reflect the culture of the time, I kinda feel they should be preserved, but I'm not real interested in doing so.
Maybe a long shot, but it seems my carrd, where I host my commission info, isn't working 100% for everyone, so I'm considering moving my commission guide somewhere else, or at least, have a backup site along with Carrd.
Anybody has site suggestions? I looked at Neocities and Nekoweb, but the former seemed to recently handle NSFW blogs poorly, and the later has NSFW guidelines I find too blurry/undefined, though technically I do not draw any of the unallowed content.
If I have to rely on something like a google doc ultimately I will, but I did want to have a nice little website for my stuff....
As I was trying to get information help, maybe cross post to r/tipofmytongue or r/whatsthisong if you haven't already and you might get more Reddit context to help.
uhm, no one said you were and please do not put that on my suggestions. This is just a bare minimum to find an artist/musician you like. Those subreddits are pretty conventional for that.
These medical X-rays are all deepfakes β and they fool even radiologists. Radiologists and large language models alike have a hard time picking out real medical images from fake ones. nature.com/articles/d41586-026β¦
The Highways Agency found over 200 dead crows on the M4 near Bridgend recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu.
The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the ...bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorrys, while only 2% were killed by cars.
The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Lorry."
PSA: It seems Crunchyroll was breached, according to reporting from multiple other websites so far
(edit) I've swapped the first link to BleepingComputer, since they've now better confirmed things and added more details.
It seems that, since it was support tickets that were accessed, the only cases where credit card numbers were leaked were those where users included them in tickets. So, you should likely be okay not getting a replacement if you never send anything like that to their support
while passwords aren't listed in the stolen info, it's not a bad idea to change that too (and do the same anywhere else you potentially use that same password)
4 days post surgery and today I have bagged up rubbish to take to the bins, done a 10 min work out on the crosstrainer, pottered about doing some random light housework, done 3 hours of paid work (WFH), made lunch, and had a shower.
Previous to surgery I would have been able to do 1 or 2 of those things only before my back pain made it impossible to do anymore.
NOT EVEN A FUCKING TWINGE
I'm sorry to keep going on about it but I am beyond excited by this.
Lesson for others is please PLEASE insist on an abdominal scan if you have unexplained #LowerBackPain #backpain they keep dismissing. This was a melon sized #OvarianCyst lurking for atleast 5 years putting pressure on my lower spine.
The difference now it's been removed is life changing for me π
it just struck me, is there a list somewhere somebody maintains of "free" airport wifi networks that just plain don't work, block ssh out, appear to be blocked by the outside world in general? (one or more of, other criteria fine too)
Not asking for a friend (yes, using my phone as hotspot in TPE at the moment), and I have encountered a few more that should be added to such a list.
Ok, the march kinda stumbled, didn't it? RL has been stomping on me as my recent post showed, so lets start getting caught up with a lazy cover. Definitely lazy, no real changes to it, no change to the lyrics, even refers to himself as a girl at one point, the ultimate in lazy
Using an app to sell a lot of my husband's books, and they don't pay too badly, we're averaging about 30Β’ a book plus free shipping (I think). If I were selling them at a garage sale, I'd be asking 50Β’ for paperback, $1 for hardback, so the price works and its faster. This is just the downstairs box.
Serious offer: i know how to make electric bicycles, electrify analog bicycles and repair broken electric bikes/scooters. If you are in #Brisbane, feeling fuel pinch, and want to get (back/newly) on two wheels, hit me up. Parts to electrify a bicycle cost a few hundred dollars, no need to spend $4000 on a store bike if you donβt want to. I even have some analog bikes we could use for parts. If you have access to ex rental scooters from defunct rental companies, i can also help resurrect these.
Interview: "The End of the Petrodollar? How Iran War Is Reshaping the Global Economy"
The price of oil spiked to $118 a barrel, up 60%.
Iranβs Revolutionary Guards say "a new stage of war has begun after Israel bombed Iranβs South Pars gas field β the largest known natural gas reserve in the world."
The higher the price of oil, the "cheaper it becomes to have sustainable alternatives."
Iranβs Revolutionary Guards have warned a βnew stage of warβ has begun after Israel bombed Iranβs South Pars gas field β the largest known natural gas reserve in the world.
Have Trump, Netanyahu, and the IRGC all joined Just Stop Oil? They are jointly hammering the petroleum and natural gas industries harder than the combined forces of Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, Earth First! and I'll even throw in the ELF could even dream of!
This is my first new instance in over three years! And I'm happy to be here!
I'm interested in, and often post about, cycling (especially urban utility cycling), what I do with vegetables from our garden (including lactofermentation), craft beer, Canadian politics (especially Ontario politics), and stuff local to me here in Waterloo Region. (I'll use hashtags.)
In my day job I work on @CyclingGuide and love it.
I may add followup posts to this if I think of anything else. ππ΄πΌββοΈπ»β€οΈ
Can you help one of our Double Tappers? Whatβs a good resource for getting started with Android as a #blind person? Nothing too advanced, total beginner here. Any help would be appreciated.
